The creepy attorney wanted to chat about the deal we just had, even though I thought that I was being fairly obvious about my desire to duck into the rest room.

“I love first-time buyers!” he enthused. “Don’t you just love them? They don’t know enough to ask questions, and they believe everything you tell them!”

Excuse me? Now he’d challenged me to a race to see if my sense of outrage could be contained longer than my bladder could hang in. I banked on my bladder winning out, I looked him semi-squarely in the eye (sorry, he really was creepy): “First time or tenth time, I find that it’s best not to B.S. any client. I’d say to you, ‘Let me know if these people ever hire you again,’ but I’m guessing one of us will be out of this business before that happens.”With that, I made a dramatic exit into the loo. I lingered a long, long time to be sure that he wouldn’t still be around when I left.
